great piece of kit with very prompt delivery

Posted08 February 2012

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Looks great

My Dawes tourer had Dawes branded panniers which were fine to an extent and did well when full, as the weight of the contents secured the pannier on the rear rack. However for day rides and commuting where you don't need to carry a lot of stuff, the panniers were never really secure.

However I'm please to report that with these Altura Arran panniers that problem is resolved, as these panniers have a very secure fitting system so that you can now carry just a few bits around in them without the worry of the pannier bouncing of your rear rack. Also they appear to be very rain resistant.

Highly recommend them and Evans service is effortless and prompt.

good quality and lots of spaceI can only fit it on right side in my rack, not left side, because of the side clip.Top clips very steady and good quality overall

Good value bag

Posted25 November 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Lightweight

A good size bag and quite lightweight. A very handy pocket in the flap. One small problem was the bottom fixing clip. I did not tighten up the clip sufficiently and it slipped off the adjustable rail. I did not notice I had lost it until I got back home. More my fault for not tightening up sufficiently.

Posted15 November 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight, Looks great, water resistant

Cons: no shoulder strap, no internal pockets

Have been using it for 2 years in all weathers and it still looks great. People say it's not waterproof, but it's very resistant - only gets damp when it poors. I just keep a plastic bag inside it for when is really wet. A shoulder strap would be a bonus, and maybe a larger reflector. I would love to have a posh Ortlieb pannier but to be honest I find it very difficult to want for more with this one!

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight, Looks great

I got this pannier to take a change of cloths for my ride into work. It holds all my stuff and has room for more and also has a handy zip pocket in the top for for small items. Good quality finish and reasonable price would recommend.

Great commuter bag

Posted15 April 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight

Takes my lunch, change of shirt and kindle with room to spare.Easy to get on and off my Ridgeback Speeds rack and so far totaly waterproof. Only nehgative is I wish they had included a shoulder strap to fit the included mounts.

Compact, quality made, great for road bikes

Posted10 March 2013

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Looks great, reflective strips

Cons: no shoulder strap option

I purchased two of these for a 2 week camping trip to the Outer Hebrides. I packed very light and wanted panniers that could fit with the shorter than normal chain stay on my road bike (so I wouldn't bump my feet on them when pedalling). They are quite narrow so did the trick in that respect and I bought a slim Tubus pannier rack with rear axle attachment to fit these panniers to.

I used rain covers so didn't test these in full rain but they seem like a sturdy, tight woven fabric so may be showerproof.The rack attachment was easy on and off and the pannier has great reflective properties.

I would have liked an optional carry strap as these hurt your hands to carry if they are fully loaded, and when full, its often not easy to find what you need in the top pocket as things get 'lost' in it.Overall a good value pannier for light touring and commuting.

excellent value for money

Posted29 April 2012

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Lightweight, Looks great

Cons: not completely waterproof

this pannier bag is at the cheap end of the market and considering this it is excellent value. in a day's heavy rainfall they did let the contents get a little damp but i suppose that is to be expected from a lightweight bag. with a waterproof liner they worked perfectly.

would definitely recommend buying for a light weight tour

I ordered this pannier thinking that it would come in a pair. It didn't so I returned it for a similar product (Arran 32 litre panniers).

This pannier is highly recommended. It is cheap but the quality is high. It has a very handy pocket at the top. It is also very light. You can attach a strap if you want to carry it with it.

Easy to clip on and off the pannier rack

Posted01 February 2012

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Lightweight

Cons: no shoulder strap

Works for me on the commute (carrying lunch, waterproofs, spares, change of clothes, shoes as required) and grocery shopping.

Inexpensive considering the price of some of the competition.

No shoulder strap included but there are hooks and straps can be had cheaply.

Doubt waterproof in a heavy downpour but can always use an inner bag.

Well designed and simple to use

Posted27 October 2011

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, secure, quick and easy to attach/detach

This pannier is well designed- it is very quick to attach and remove from my pannier rack and is secure when fitted properly. The fitting at the bottom of the pannier can be adjusted to fit any rack.

In the past I have had a pannier which caught my ankles when pedalling and which tended to bend, sometimes getting caught in my rear wheel spokes. This pannier is narrow and stiff enough to avoid both of these problems even when very full.

The one problem I did have is that one of the rivets fastening one of the top fittings to the bag part of the pannier snapped while riding, the fitting was still attached by one rivet, I repaired it a day later with a narrow gauge bolt and have had no further problems.

Front touring panniers

Posted12 September 2011

Yes, I recommend this product.

Pros: Good value, Good quality, Looks great

Altura products are fantastic & being an ex pat scot I love that the panniers are named after an island in the western isles makes me quiet homesick.thet are just the right size and with just a little adjusting they fit the front rack on my "New" Kona Sutra.Here comes the rail trails ! ? !
